Fairy Desire

Everyone is still in the ** Valley, but they are already safe, at least temporarily.But no one could forget the situation when Meng Xiang led them out of danger.

Snowflakes, more precisely, snowflakes transformed by knife light, snowflakes that cannot be covered by thick fog, it seems that every snowflake has its own life, even if it is as short as a meteor, it will bloom its own brilliance.

Meng Xiang swung the long knife, the speed seemed to be slow, but countless snowflakes flew out of the knife, continuously, seemingly endlessly.And within the range where the snowflakes are flying, everything is assimilated, more precisely, they are shattered together with the snowflakes, turning into powder finer than flour, whether it is the resurrected person, who has become a skeleton Yang Rong, the skeletons that surrounded them.

During this process, while everyone was amazed by the snowflakes flying out of Meng Xiang's blade, they also discovered a secret. The secret that those dead people and skeletons can act on their own is neither the possession of ghosts nor the ghosts they thought. Some sort of so-called psychic force was guiding them, they were being manipulated by something they never thought of.

Ants, yes, the real killers who killed those people and manipulated those skeletons were small ants, but they were not ordinary ants, but soul-eating ants that evolved from man-eating ants.

Not only can they devour a living person including the belt and bone in the blink of an eye, but they can even work together to manipulate the victim's corpse and make the illusion of resurrection of the dead, so that they can use the dead to kill and injure more people.

Fortunately, soul-eating ants are not considered monsters. Only the queen ant is a monster in the entire ant colony. However, under the command of the queen ant, they cooperate with each other tacitly and are elusive, especially for those who don't know the inside story. lethality.

Just like not long ago, if it wasn't for Meng Xiang's action, frightened by the ghost's thoughts, few of them would be able to last until dawn.

Of course, this is also related to the environment of the ** Valley, the fog is heavy, the sight is unclear, and the soul-eating ants they encountered are different from ordinary soul-eating ants, they are white and extremely small, so they didn't notice it. strange.

In the shock, everyone finally ushered in the dawn. Although under the cover of thick fog, the light in the ** Valley was still relatively dim, and the field of vision was small, but the light can always bring courage to people.

They ate breakfast hastily, but basically everyone felt that the dry food, which was not appetizing, was like wax, without any taste, but they had to eat it in order to have physical strength.

After the meal, everyone got together to discuss and finally came to a conclusion, regardless of whether they could find and kill the earth-burrowing centipede, they must leave the ** Valley before dark today.Last night was the terrifying soul-eating ants, who knows what terrible things they will encounter tonight.

In order to expand the scope of the search and to avoid getting lost, everyone came up with a stupid, but still quite a way, that is to connect everything with a rope, and whoever finds it will pull the rope, and the others will rush away. Join him.This may be more dangerous, but in order to get out of the ** Valley earlier, I can't care so much.

After discussing it, Qi Mufeng divided the people into two groups, one group was himself, Qi Rong, Tie Ziyun and his subordinates, and the other group was Meng Xiang and Yan Shi. .Although Tie Ziyun tried his best to oppose this method of distribution, he still couldn't compete with Qi Mufeng, because this time Qi Rong also stood by his side.

However, as compensation, Qi Mufeng gave Meng Xiang a bottle of qi invigorating pills, ten pills, each worth 2000 taels of silver, which can effectively supplement the consumption of zhenqi.In addition, he gave him a black wooden whistle. When he was in danger, as long as he blew it, they would hear it and approach him in time.

Watching the rope coiled on the ground decrease rapidly, Meng Xiang didn't move, but looked at the porcelain bottle containing the qi invigorating pill and the black wooden whistle in his hand, and frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

Yan Shi naturally saw his strangeness, and asked, "Brother Meng, what's wrong with this elixir and whistle?"

Meng Xiang didn't answer his question, but instead asked: "Shitou, do you think Qi Mufeng hates us?"

"Of course I hate it." Yan Shi blurted out without thinking, and then he seemed to think of something, "Brother Meng, do you mean that there is something wrong with these two things?"

"I'm not sure." Meng Xiang shook his head, "But I think it's better for us not to use them."

After looking at the pile of ropes that had shrunk a lot underground, he asked Yan Shi, "Brother Meng, shall we go too?"

"Okay." Meng Xiang put the qi invigorating pill and the black wooden whistle into his arms, took the other end of the rope, and walked into the thick fog.In the blink of an eye, their figures disappeared, leaving only the rustling sound of the rope being dragged down.

Meng Xiang was in front and behind him. The distance between the two was about three or four feet. There was a wooden stick between them, and on top of the wooden stick was tied a two-foot-long thin wooden stick. The two sticks were perpendicular to each other. A cross is formed, and that cross is now parallel to the ground.

This simple cross-shaped device was conceived by Meng Xiang.Through it, the two of them can correct their walking route at any time, and basically keep walking in a straight line. Although there are inevitable errors, it is much better than walking randomly in the fog.

Through the experience of old hunters and their personal understanding, lost direction, especially lost in the fog, sometimes walking for a long time, but still can't find a way out, it seems to be in a boundless In the open space, the actual situation is often that people are spinning around in a circle.

Meng Xiang and Yan Shi, especially Meng Xiang, can be sure that the ** Valley is definitely not as big as they imagined. The reason why they can't find its boundary is probably because they are also walking in circles in the valley.

Go, keep going, I don't know if the cross device that Meng Xiang came up with worked, or their luck is better, suddenly, they found a tall black shadow appeared in front of them, and they were connected together.

Meng Xiang and Yan Shi looked at each other, and there was a hint of joy in their eyes: if the tall black shadow they saw was not an accident, it should be a boundary of the ** Valley.

And once they find the boundary of the ** Valley, whether they walk along the boundary or directly cross the boundary, they will go out of the ** Valley in the near future.

The two quickened their pace, and quickly shortened the distance between them and the black shadow.As the distance got closer and closer, they found that their guess was correct, and they had indeed come to the border of the Yellow Valley.

The black, wet stones were inconspicuous, even a bit ugly, but when they saw them, both Meng Xiang and Yan Shi felt joy in their hearts.But Yan Shi noticed that Meng Xiang's complexion suddenly darkened, and his thick black brows became pimples.

Yan Shu's heart sank suddenly: Did brother Meng find something wrong?He hurriedly asked: "Brother Meng, what's the matter? Is there something wrong?"

Meng Xiang turned his head, looked at Yan Shi, his face was gloomy, and asked in a deep voice: "Stone, haven't you found it yet?"

"Found what?"

"rope."

"Rope? What's wrong with the rope?"

"Stone, we've come so far, isn't the rope exhausted?"

"This..." Yan Shu's heart really sank at this moment. He used the cross-shaped simple device to correct the orientation before, and he didn't pay too much attention to the problem of the rope. Now that Meng Xiang mentioned it, he felt that something was wrong. .

Just 1 minute later, Meng Xiang's worry was confirmed - the rope broke.Although Yan Shi hadn't seen the decapitation of his body yet, the lighter and lighter touch in his hand told him clearly that the rope was indeed broken.

Soon after, the broken end of the rope appeared in Yan Shi's hands, and when he carefully checked the situation of the broken end of the rope, he suddenly exclaimed: "Brother Meng, there is something wrong with the broken end of the rope."

Meng Xiang took the end of the rope, and when he found that there were a very small amount of neatly broken ends that were easily overlooked in the end of the rope, his expression was not the slightest surprise. It seemed that he had expected this situation a long time ago, and said lightly: "Stone, It wasn't beyond my expectations."

"Could it be that Qi Mufeng cut the rope with his own hands, and then pretended it was bitten off by something?" Yan Shi's face became ugly.

"Maybe, maybe not, but one thing is for sure, he must have been involved in this matter."

"Brother Meng, you mean there are others?"

Meng Xiang didn't answer his question, but asked another question: "Stone, according to the normal reaction, if we find that the rope has been bitten off by something like a wild animal, what do you think our first action will be? "

"The first action?" Yan Shi only thought for a while before giving the answer, "Of course I want to find a way to join them."

Immediately afterwards, there was a schadenfreude smile on his face, and he continued: "But Qi Mufeng would never have thought that we would be able to find the boundary of the ** Valley. If he doesn't cut the rope, everyone can go out of the ** Valley. He He actually dared to harm us so well, let him stay in the Valley of Desire. Once it’s night, hehe... really confirms the old saying, you can’t live without doing your own crimes!"

Meng Xiang ignored Yan Shi's schadenfreude, but took out the black wooden whistle from his arms, and continued to ask: "Stone, if I blow this whistle, do you think Qi Mufeng and the others will come to meet us?"

"Probably not. Since he wants to harm us, he definitely won't join us." Speaking of this, Yan Shi suddenly showed a puzzled expression, "Oh, that's not right. Since he, Qi Mufeng, wants to harm us, and he is in the Valley of Heaven Once this kind of ghost local people are separated, there is almost no chance of meeting again, and he doesn't have to worry about our revenge at all, so why does he still have to make a disguise on the broken end of the rope?"

Meng Xiang was playing with the black wooden whistle that couldn't be seen from its specific material, and there was a gleam in his eyes, and he said lightly: "If my guess is correct, all he did was to achieve a purpose. .”

"What purpose?" Yan Shi raised his head, with a curious look in his eyes.

Meng Xiang tossed the black wooden whistle lightly, then grabbed it, his eyes lit up suddenly, and said in a deep voice: "His purpose is very simple, that is to let us blow this whistle."
